How To Rebuild A 1.3L Suzuki Samurai Engine (Part 7) Timing Belt, Valve Adjust, and Water Pump

[@MuniNadan-rk4jd]

Thanks a lot, low range off road crew. A simple mechanic like me with basic skills can see this video and do it by himself. Very clear, precise, and informative presentation. May God bless you all. 🙏

[@1234tric]

A guy came by yesterday from a low range shop with a wonderful white Samurai - looked great! Hope to have mine road ready in the months to come.

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+1234tric Good luck with your project. Let us know if we can be of any assistance.

[@wolf1221d]

I have a 96 Geo Metro with a G13BA 1.3L. I just started tearing down the engine a couple of days ago and this is my first rebuild. I will definitely use these videos as a resource to use and follow, thank you.

[@DimitrisSfounis]

Thank you for all the hard work put into this video. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my Samurai back up and running after 8 years in the shed.

[@MrHitchikerOz]

Great instruction vid, clear and concise. Can I add something? For all you Loctite users, whenever you use a threadlocker in a blind hole - e.g. crankshaft and camshaft end bolts, always put your product inside the hole, and not just on the bolt. Think about it - as you wind your bolt in the air inside must escape somehow. As it does so, it blows out all of your threadlocker which compromises your joint. I see this often in vids on KZbin, and having spent 20 years as a Loctite trainer, I've spent many hours educating others on this issue.

[@Zgronar]

I was looking for a way to tighten the crank pulley bolt, and your idea with the crowbar is perfect! Thank you

[@Dave-ve7ue]

Man I’m getting a 1987 Suzuki Samurai this week and I can’t wait. This video was an awesome tutorial! You got a new sub!

[@classicones2934]

Such a great effort in making this video in a very very detailed manner. Request you to make a video like this on suzuki G10 engine

[@brucetreadway6405]

I agree, thanks a million guys, you do great films, which are a lot of work to get right, and you really help us out here.

Top Video mate! Here in Australia we call the Suzuki Sidekick, Suzuki Vitara. I have a 1995 1.6 Suzuki Vitara ( USA Sidekick) and watching your tutorial My water pump packed up so I ended up buying a Water Pump/Timing kit, so might as well replace that too. Thumbs up!

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+Dorian Giorno Thanks for watching. Good to here from our Australia friends.

[@thecommentor8384]

And we call the samurai a Sierra. Great little cars, becoming rarer.

[@crystalmcelveen4460]

now is this the same engine they put in a 1990 geo tracker? they say these engines r the same and i would like to rebuild my engine. with this video and you covering all the steps i believe it would b a walk in the park. Thank you for sharing this video with youtube

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+Crystal Jones Yes, the 1990 Geo Tracker is the same vehicle as the Suzuki Sidekick. It has the 1.6L 8 valve engine which is basically the same engine as the 1.3L Suzuki Samurai engine shown in our engine rebuild series. Our video's should be very helpful in coaching you through an engine rebuild.

[@restoreman8115]

Great video. Do I have to add sealant on surfaces between block and water pump; in case o future failure of paper gasket.

[@kookoo3544]

God bless u guyz for all ur💯 hardwork u share with the viewers

[@kookoo3544]

Thank u very much for sharing with us all about engine nd installing components

[@LkOutMtnMan]

I bought a 92 motor that was a new crate motor with flat top pistons. It cracked two pistons so when I tore it down and miked everything it was like new except for one thing, thrust washers. The crank was evidently a rebuilt one that they faced off the crank where the thrust washers ran slightly. The crank had .010 end play which caused the pistons to crack the skirts and was wearing the rod bearings on each side. When I tried to find over size thrust washers in the USA there weren't any. So seeing that the thrust washers were steel I used my arc welder to tack back of a washer all over then ground it down to thickness I needed. So far it has run like a watch. Oh yeah, I hate chrome rings!

[@ronaldbradshaw5496]

Very good & well worth watching!

[@diegoyanez3718]

Same engine has suzuki swift 1.3L 1995 thank bro such a great video

[@enginemagician]

Thank you sir. Very good demonstration.

[@bernardocruz3601]

excelentes los videos, preguntas 1) este motor es el mismo del swift 1.3 2) cual es el torque para los tornillos de las valvulas ,gracias

[@jonfreeman240]

very good videos , these engines are very reliable , I imagine placing them 1.6L DOHC engine gti would rise to a higher level , despite all the construction is very easy , very practical and simple to 4x4

[@classicones2934]

Very well explained. I have a question. I have suzuki swift 1987 with three cylinder G10 engine. Camshaft pulley is just the same as in your video but you alligned the mark and said that you are on TDC of cylinder 4. In my case as i have 3 cylinder engine but cam pulley is same as yours one, So which mark should i allign on TDC of cylinder 1. Plz reply

[@carlosmariohenao171]

Son excelentes todos los videos de low rance off-road..son muy practicos e instructivos...les agradeceria mucho más si pudieran anexar la traducción a español...muchas gracias

Thanks for the help 👍

[@Peter170254]

Over here in Australia, the gasket for the timing plate is unavailable, any chance of sending you the cash to buy 3 of them ?? if you can send, how much each are they ???

[@mikeolsen1172]

Hey is this all the same torque specs and approach to rebuild the 1.6 16 valve?

[@szsrizal6]

hello sir...oesem video..easy to refer and good job..my question here is where you get the all new sparepart to rebuild the engine..it s easy to get at sparepart shop?

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+shah rizal Zakaria We have some spare parts here at Low Range Off-Road. If you have a need call 801-805-6644 and ask for William. If you need new parts, visit or website at lowrangeoffroad.com or call the above number and ask for William. Thanks for watching.

[@dennistaylor6486]

Great vidio,thanks!

[@damikedaevil4582]

first off, very nice video's👍... Is this a G13B engine? because it looks very simular to my Suzuki swift engine.

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

These instructions will work with either the G13A or G13BA. Video will also work for the Suzuki 1.6L 8 Valve engine. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@damikedaevil4582]

lowrangeoffroad tyvm sir👍

[@MadWeiner]

I have a 2000 Chevrolet metro with the same engine except the head has different valves.(sohc 16 valve) Are they interchangeable and is your engine non interference?

[@jackyy548]

How do I lock the gears for torquing if still in the vehicle? Ie backside of cam and lower timing gear?

[@willie6185]

I have all of my notifications on and it still doesn’t notify me when you post a new video. What’s up with that?

Sir which number tappet gauge we use in mm ? Please reply me

[@vaioskaliakoudas6388]

Is the valve adjustment tutorial similar to all engines or may vary depending on the manufacturer's specs?

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

The valve clearance spec varies from engine to engine. As does the method of adjustment. I'd definitely use the engine manufacturer instructions when adjusting valves.

[@pipschannel1222]

Good tutorial.. Only: I would use a high pass filter for the audio for the people using a hifi system.. Almost blew my speakers up as there are a lot of very loud low frequency sounds in here!

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+Pip Master Thanks for watching and commenting. We are good "Car Guys" but we are relatively new at producing videos. What is a High Pass filter?

[@CJ-ep7tg]

Hi, i watched the video and did according to the instructions, now my samurai idles as 2,000 rpm and the check engine light is on. Any suggestions? Thank you!

[@kennethgardner5717]

Take it to a garage to have it done by a mechanic that knows how to follow instructions. Or service the engine fresh oil, filter and turn off service light..

[@kernowarty]

I have just bought a Suzuki Wagon r 1.3 ltr 16 v engine vehicle and am trying to find out about the engine. Is this the one??

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+kernowarty We don't have that model in the USA so we are not familiar with that engine. Sorry!

[@rithvikvohra3394]

kernowarty im a kid so i maybe wrong but the suzuki gypsy or jimny for you guyz came with a g13b which is an sohc and yours is a dohc

[@MadWeiner]

Did you put #4 at TDC before installing the timing belt?

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+MadWeiner Yes. Most manufacturers require that the timing belt be installed with cylinder #1 on TDC (Top Dead Center). However, for this engine, Suzuki requires that Cylinder #4 be placed at TDC when installing the timing. belt."

[@767dag]

lowrangeoffroad Does that mean no 1 Cylinder is first in the firing order to then. Just that the timing marks are set for number four?

[@علیصالحی-خ7ظ]

How much is the size of piston

[@TZOY75]

may i ask about what you said that you set it to TDC #4 is it piston 4? Not #1. Thanks

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+Heumens .PartyNeeds Most manufacturers require that the timing belt be installed with cylinder #1 on TDC (Top Dead Center). However, for this engine, Suzuki requires that Cylinder #4 be placed at TDC when installing the timing. belt. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

[@Pendaws]

I always wonder if many mechanics are as careful? In all my years I have seen SO many butchers masquerading as mechanics. :) Hated doing rocker arm adjustments, they can send a set of feeler gauges to an early grave. :) (Some rockers require setting when engine is running)

[@thecommentor8384]
